2008-06-15 - Droves of customers take firsthand look at automation solutions on display – and ask experts a lot of questions
CINCINNATI, OH, June 15, 2008 . . . Customers and ABB prospects descended in droves on the downtown Hyatt Regency here on Thursday, June 12, to see ABB’s automation solutions @work. Channel partners attended briefings a day earlier, in order to focus customers and prospects on expanding their existing automation solutions with ABB.
“This market continues to grow, and we see, basis the interest in this Roadshow, and the increasing sales numbers, that Cincinnati continues to emerge rapidly,” said Jay Price, the district manager for the ABB Power and Control Sales Team, who oversaw the invitations and local participation in the event. “The excitement was everywhere, with customers and prospects from both the Indianapolis and this market packing into technical workshops – and spending a lot of time with product experts on the exhibit floor.”
Workshops offer “must-know” expertise on a host of automation-related information, ranging from UL and NEC standards, to mitigating arc flash in transformers, to harmonic mitigation in industrial environments, to sizing motors correctly for drives, to a profile of motor types, and PLC installations, and efficient, energy saving control panel designs.
The show offers visitors a close-up look at a wide berth of low-voltage products and services (drives, controls, and motors), automation, power/transformer, medium voltage, and instrumentation solutions -- and the chance to talk with the product experts on all the lines. The Process Automation division of ABB, along with the Instrumentation Local Business Unit (of the Automation Products division), were on the floor with new displays.

The Roadshow resumes its tour, stopping next in Anaheim/Orange County, CA. The schedule of venues and dates will be available at www.abb-events.com.
